This is a well known issue. I recently did some debugging on libdtv level and 
never saw the missing text (simply setting a breakpoint to the text decoding 
function).
If a description in an Extended Event Descriptor (ETSI EN 300 468) contains 
more than 256 bytes, it must be put in one or more following descriptors.
These descriptors seem to be missing, and IIRC last_descriptor_number was 
always set to 0x00 (about that I'm not quite sure at the moment).
The question is: Did anyone with commercial equipment ever see these missing 
lines, i.e. complete descriptions?
